Mother's Day Bouquet Card Printable


This past Monday I hosted a Mother's Day lunch for my mom, granny, sister, and sister-in-law. We usually don't end up doing anything to celebrate Mother's Day (which is a shame) so it was really nice for all of us to get together.


We enjoyed chicken salad, sweet potato soup, and peach tea while sitting and talking.


Isn't my granny just the cutest?



I spent a little extra time on the table decor. I made the napkins just for the occasion, and the table runner. I also made the felt flower napkin rings (DIY coming later this week!)


But my favorite project was teaming up with my friend Courtney (see her blog here) to make these super cute printable Mother's Day cards!


I knew I wanted to make a bouquet card like this, but my drawing and hand lettering skills are subpar. Courtney just opened a print shop and has the most adorable prints. I was so glad when she was game to help me, and I really like what we came up with.


This is a simple way to add a personal touch to your Mom's card this year. There are four FREE cards to choose from, and then all you have to do is whip up a few felt flowers.

DIY Easter Egg Place Cards


Helloooo!! It's been a few weeks dear readers, and for that I am so sorry! It has not been for a lack of things to say, but rather a lack of time to say them. I am back to it, and hopefully I will never leave you alone for that long ever again.

In my absence, Easter really snuck up! Since my husband works for our church, Easter is a very busy season for us! This year, I am hoping to have a small Easter brunch with my husband's family, and I came up with these Easter Egg Place Cards to make it a little more festive. These are sooo simple, and I'm even including a printable for you to use to make your own.

DIY Christmas Scene


Last week I brought you two fun Christmas DIYs and today, I am back for another one! Growing up, my mom had a ceramic Christmas village that she would set up on the piano. She would fill the streets with "snow," and always gave me instructions to not touch it. Confession Mom, I always snuck in there and played with it when you weren't looking!

This Christmas, I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to create a Christmas village of my own that I could play with as much as I wanted. This DIY is way easy -- in one hour you can have your scene completely finished! And if you already have some paint laying around, this will only cost you about $10 - $15. Here's what you need!

DIY Tree Skirt


Every year we buy a Christmas tree from our local tree farm. During the month of December, our Christmas tree really becomes a part of the family. This year I even gave our tree a name. This is me with "Theresa." She's so happy to meet you.

DIY Felt Cone Trees

Merry Christmas everyone! It's finally past Thanksgiving, so I can officially say that. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I also hope you all ate way to much pie and took lots of naps. I know I did.

With Thanksgiving behind us, we can press forward to the day we wait all year for -- Christmas!
I don't know about you, but I LOVE decorating my home for Christmas. I turn on a Christmas movie and spend the day decking the halls. This year I decided to get a little craftier and I am bringing you a few DIYs you can use to make your home extra cozy this Christmas. Here is the first one!
